Synopsis:
A drama about Mike Olshansky (Morse), an ex-cop turned taxi driver
who seeks redemption after a fall from grace by fighting for and
righting the wrongs of others.
Once a decorated
police officer, Mike is abruptly let go from the force after he's
caught taking money from a crime scene. Now, he must get used
to his new life as a cabbie - a job that comes with a difficult
boss, Nicolai Zosimov (Mark Margolis), who's always riled up about
something, and a schedule filled with long days and nights, all
of which require a steady stream of caffeine and eye drops.
When one of
Mike's passengers is beaten by a group of thugs and another fare
asks Mike to help him locate his daughter, he realizes he can
still use his police know-how to help those in need. As he contemplates
moonlighting as a crime solver, Mike seeks support and assistance
from his longtime friends, including Marcellus Washington (Braugher),
his former partner who owes his job to Mike since they share a
secret that could shatter Marcellus' own police career. Marcellus,
forever in Mike's debt, gives him inside information that Mike
needs to help others, and in return, Mike can go places for Marcellus
that a cop just can't go.
Father Tom
"Grizz" Grzelak (George Dzundza, Law
& Order) is both Mike's drinking buddy and forthright friend.
At home, Mike has a lot of issues to resolve with his estranged
wife, Heather (Donna Murphy), and son, Michael Jr. (Conor O'Farrell).
The closer
he examines his own life, the more he finds himself unable to
stop from intervening in the troubled lives of others.
